What to do when your best defender doesn't fit the jigsaw? Change the jigsaw to one that does, or move in another direction? That is the unexpected dilemma Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder may well be wrestling with after the emergence of Nottingham Forest loanee Tyler Bindon. Signed by former boss Ruben Selles, the 21-year-old New Zealand international's career at Bramall Lane got off to an inauspicious start. Discarded on Wilder's return until early December when he came off the bench to become the bedrock of the Blades' back four for much of the remainder of the season.
